This well-preserved Michaux was previously part of a European museum exhibition. Its original paintwork is very attractive, with red lining on various parts of the machine. The wheels are also in very good condition. It has had a professional welding repair to its hock foot rest at the end that fits to the steering head.

The saddle has its original pan and fittings, with a replacement top. The wooden handlebar grips and pedals are also the originals. The Michaux can be ridden, but would really be more appropriate for display in a museum.
